hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:07
I'm looking at an external hard drive
0:08
this is the OWCA er II on the go pro and
0:13
you're looking at this and you're
0:14
thinking okay external drive what's
0:16
interesting about it so first thing
0:18
that's interesting well let me tell you
0:19
it's a one terabyte drive so lots of
0:20
space but the first thing that's
0:22
interesting is it's running at 7200 rpm
0:24
rpm is revolutions per minute and that
0:27
refers to how fast the disc is spinning
0:29
it's actually a physical disk in here
0:31
and faster is better most everything is
0:33
at 5400 rpm and 7200 makes a difference
0:37
it makes it faster but what makes this
0:39
super cool let me show you a close-up is
0:41
this thing supports USB 2.0 USB 3.0
0:45
firewire 400 and firewire 800 and that's
0:49
great and even comes with the cables so
0:51
here's our firewire cable and here's our
0:54
USB 3.0 cable and of course they it's
0:56
backwards compatible if you don't have
0:58
USB 3 notice in particular another close
1:00
up is the cable end on the USB that
1:03
actually goes into the device
1:05
interesting them you know it's a very
1:07
unusual sort of connector but how I use
1:10
this is that when I'm on the go with my
1:12
laptop I'm just using this as a USB
1:14
Drive so it's working fine when I get
1:16
back to the office I plug it into my
1:18
desktop system using the much faster
1:22
firewire 800 so the drives the same the
1:25
date is the same I just actually have
1:27
even better performance when I'm in the
1:28
office so it's pretty nice it weighs
1:30
just under 11 ounces so it's not very
1:32
heavy and a lot of that weight comes
1:34
from on the bottom they have a solid
1:36
piece of aluminum that they're using as
1:38
a heat sink which is really nice so
1:40
there's no fan there's no noise it's
1:41
totally silent but by doing that they're
1:44
managing the heat issues that come out
1:46
about having the disc spin that fast so
1:49
clues the cables includes a little
1:51
carrying bag if you actually like it I'm
1:54
not a big fan of the carrying bag I just
1:55
towed it like this seems pretty tough
1:57
comes with a three year warranty and
1:59
finally if you want to check one out go
2:02
to Mac sales comm and their 169 bucks
2:06
for the one terabyte but they're on sale
2:09
right now for 149 bucks so I say check
2:12
if you're using an external drive like I
2:14
am having the ability to have it connect
2:16
on a faster connection if you have
2:19
hardware that supports firewire
2:22
so this is Dave Taylor and I'm back to
2:25
watching some movies off of my drive and
2:28
I'll catch you in my next video
